The most underrated signing...

Dustin · May 5, 2015

Jean Sifrin is #good. I had a mid-round grade on him, but figured he was going to go late or undrafted all together because of his age (27).

Putting that aside, he's a very good player who I think has a very really chance to see significant snaps in 2016 (when we lose one of our TEs).

He has two tapes on DB, and you can immediately tell how much more productive he would have been if he had semi-competent QB play (seriously, he would have had probably 4 TDs in the Colorado game if he had a QB who could hit the broad side of a barn).

Huge hands and great YAC ability. Sifrin is a very nimble for a 6'6" receiver. Not much to say about blocking, he wasn't asked to do it at all. He's basically is slot receiver, so he'd be more of a Fleener replacement than an Allen replacement.

He's probably about as good as Devin Funchess (who went in the 2nd round), but played in a much worse offense. He'll definitely be a deep threat. Very little football experience, so he's a guy who will probably land on the practice squad this year. Like I said, he was probably a 4th round guy if he was 22.
